Boulder City Council moves step closer to banning assault weapons

http://kdvr.com/2018/05/01/boulder-city-council-unanimously-passes-assault-weapon-ban/

BOULDER, Colo. -- The Boulder City Council unanimously passed a ban of the sale and possession of certain weapons on Tuesday.

That work started after the deadly shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
During a marathon meeting, plenty of people on both sides of the issue voiced their positions.

Council members voted to prohibit the sale and possession of bump stocks, many semiautomatic weapons and magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.


...The ban does not go into effect immediately. There still must be a third reading by the council.
